Britney Spears’ cousin and former assistant Alli Sims has voiced her disapproval of the pop star’s new boyfriend, Adnan Ghalib, insisting the paparazzo is "not a good person".

The British snapper has been a constant presence in Spears’ life over the past few weeks, and even visited the troubled star when she was admitted to hospital for a mental evaluation earlier this month.

Spears was taken to the Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles following a stand-off with police at her Beverly Hills, California home, on January 3rd when she refused to hand over her youngest son to her ex-husband Kevin Federline’s minder.

Ghalib also accompanied Spears on a headline-grabbing trip to Mexico last week.

But Sims admits she is uncomfortable with Ghalib and wishes the Toxic singer would ditch him as soon as possible.

She tells U.S. TV show Extra, "I don’t know him. I only know who he is through him following us for the last eight months. I do not think Adnan is a good person.

"I think he only has bad intentions. He has always given me a weird feeling and creeped me out. I wish he would just go away."
